...railroads are getting the same share of this booming business. Biggest gainers are the transcontinental lines. Ton-miles for the first quarter were up 64% on the Santa Fe, 42.5% on the Seaboard, 39% for the Atlantic Coast Line, only 22% for the New York Central. But practically all the carriers made good money for the first four months-though their wage increases were already in effect, their compensating freight-rate boost not until March 18. Combined profits of all Class I roads were $149,000,000-almost double last year's $76,299,000. In April, when last...
...Islands, as in the U.S., hundreds of cities and villages mourned their men. Virtually all of the 2,300 of the New Mexico National Guard had been in the Philippines. Mothers and wives met from Deming to Rosewell to Santa Fe, still hoped their coast artillerymen were on Corregidor. Salinas, Calif, lost a company of infantry soldiers; California mothers wept with Filipino women whose sons were veterans in the Scouts, or lean-faced youngsters just out of the West Point grey of the Philippine Military Academy...
...Santa Fe station in down town Los Angeles another group of 500 aliens and Nisei (all men, as were the Japs who went by motor) boarded a special 13-car Southern Pacific train for Manzanar. A few impassive-faced Japanese women stood on the platform, handed up pop bottles through the open windows, waved good-by with composure. One was a white girl, clutching the hand of a small, wide-eyed, yellow-skinned...
Methylene blue and purple thionine looked promising. Whereas chlorophyll combines water and carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of light, these pigments transform ferrous sulfate [Fe (SO4)] into ferric sulfate [Fe2 (SO4)3]. The ferrous compound consists of two "ions"-a positively charged iron atom linked with a negative sulfate unit. Under the influence of these pigments and light, the ions regroup themselves into the ferric form-two positive units linked with three negative units. And in the dark this reaction reverses itself. Regrouping of the ions upsets the electrical balance of the solution, creating electrical potentials...
...borrowings. Moreover, many a railroad learned well the No. 1 lesson of the '30s: that fixed charges, if not reduced in good times, are the surest way to go broke in bad. Southern Railway in December paid the last of $10,000,000 bank loans; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe retired $28,070,500 of 4½% convertible debentures; New York Central is planning to pay off $16,000,000 bank loans due in 1942-44. Boston & Maine, Baltimore & Ohio and others are buying their own bonds on the market...
